Chen Huang suddenly looked like a deflated ball, his face trembled clearly, but he didn't speak, and was silent for a long time before he raised his eyes to look at Chen Kaizhi and asked very puzzledly: "Are you...... What exactly do you want to do? ”

"I ...... I ......" He was deflated all of a sudden, after all, he was not a person who had seen any strong winds and waves, and now he was here, facing the fierce Chen Kaizhi, he had no confidence at all, so he still asked the teacher to ask for the guilt, but now he was in tears, sobbing and said.

"I ...... I and King Zhao, in fact, have nothing to do with it, although they are the same clan, but the Duke of Qi, although there are still some false names in the clan, it doesn't matter, the Duke of Protector... You know this, when the first king was there, he also assisted in some Honglu Temple errands, ushered in the send-off, did not dare to offend people, and had some connections, but ...... But that's not it......"

He began to scream.

This guy isn't stupid.

quickly understood that Chen Kaizhi was killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, maybe he was looking for his own trouble, to find King Zhao's bad luck.

At the beginning, he felt that King Zhao was powerful, so today in front of the mourning hall, he couldn't help but side with King Zhao, but now he couldn't help crying.

"But I am a son of the world, at most in the future, I will be a prince who has no future in Beijing, this life is chaotic in the past, even if you kill me, it will not help, not to mention, arresting the clan at will, this is not a trivial matter, the prince of the country is ......"

Chen Kaizhi was still expressionless, a pair of clear eyes squinted gently, staring at Chen Huang who was crying bitterly.

Actually, he was right about one thing.

This Chen Huang has no value of killing chickens and monkeys at all, and will even cause trouble.

This is not the slightest benefit to Chen Kaizhi.

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but smile, and said lightly: "Who said that I want to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys?" ”

Chen Huang was stunned, looking very incredulous, obviously he didn't think that he had guessed wrong, but it didn't matter, as long as he didn't cut him, so he couldn't help shouting: "That's ...... Then please let me go...... Let me ......"

Chen Kaizhi smiled at him, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "You can't put it, because you have something on you, and I want to borrow it." ”

"East ...... Things ......" Chen Huang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "What...... What is it...... Silver...... Silver...... I...... I have, but not much, what else ......"

Chen Kaizhi pursed his lips: "A good thing that is enough to change the pattern of Da Chen, come on, invite the prince to live in the edict prison, don't use torture, as long as he is willing to be obedient and obedient, so as to avoid his suffering." Also, prepare the carriage and horses, I will enter the palace. ”

Chen Huang suddenly felt that things were not simple, he wanted to borrow his own things, what he had was needed, he racked his brains, and he couldn't guess it.

At the same time, Chen Kaizhi went straight to the palace.

Chen Kaizhi can almost imagine what actions King Zhao and the others will make after this incident, they must be in the palace now, and even many people have already received the news and entered the palace.

This is indeed a significant matter.

Although the Duke of Qi is inconspicuous in the clan in Beijing, when the king of Puyang Xianjun was alive, he did not hold any great power, not to mention that compared with the king of Zhao and the king of Liang, he is far from the king of Beihai County, but after all, he is a nobleman and a clan, because he is 'honest', he also has a lot of contacts, and he can gain a lot of sympathy, therefore, Chen Kaizhi must hurry into the palace to explain the matter, so as not to let someone take this opportunity to stir up the situation.

As soon as he arrived in the palace, there was already a eunuch ready to go out of the palace to summon Chen Kaizhi, and the two sides met at the gate of the palace, and the eunuch said: "Protector, the Empress Dowager is invited." ”

"Please lead the way."

All the way to Wanshou Palace, when Chen Kaizhi entered, he saw that there was a lot of people here, and there were a lot of clansmen, led by King Zhao, one by one, they were filled with righteous indignation, and when they saw Chen Kaizhi coming, they all looked at him coldly.

Several cabinet scholars were also invited, and their attitudes were inexplicable.

The Empress Dowager had a calm face, but Chen Kaizhi saw the Empress Dowager's thoughts.

Of course, she has plans to suppress the clan, but this does not mean that she can take people at will, because once she stabs the hornet's nest of the clan, this is by no means a good thing for the queen mother.

A scheming character like her, even if she has to deal with the clan, now that she has the initiative, she naturally takes warm water to boil the frog, occasionally beats a few times, and then occasionally gives a sweet date, in essence, it is not allowed to let the clan completely chill, once the heart is cold, if the clan inside and outside the capital is in chaos, this is the earth shaking.

Chen Kai stepped forward and saluted.

The Empress Dowager kowtowed her desk, raised her eyebrows high, and asked coldly: "What's going on, what's going on, it's unprovoked, why did Jinyiwei arrest people?" This Puyang County King is newly mourned, just such a son, still wearing filial piety, is so unkind? If you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, people who don't know it, but the palace has made an order, leaving no room at all, and taking 10,000 steps back, even if there is really a retreat, can't it be discussed? The court is public, and people are taken directly, this is not like words! Where are the people? ”

Chen Kaizhi looked very calm, he raised his eyes and glanced at the Empress Dowager Mu, the Empress Dowager Mu was also speechless, just entered the palace Chen Kaizhi saw that he was still fine, and he caused trouble when he left the palace.

In her opinion, there is really no need to take this prince of Qi Kingdom.

After all, the Duke of Qi has been indisputable for so many years, and this prince is also an ordinary disciple of the clan, what harm will it do to King Zhao, and what good will it do to Chen Kaizhi?

As for Chen Zhenjing, he looked at Chen Kaizhi coldly, but when he heard the words of the queen mother, he was slightly chilled.

He could understand what the queen mother meant, which was ostensibly to reprimand Chen Kaizhi, but in fact, there was still room for turnaround.

Chen Kaizhi's heart was as calm as water, and in the face of the Empress Dowager's questioning, he did not panic at all, but said lightly: "The minister also thought about it like this, originally thought, wait a little longer to get someone, who expected that His Royal Highness King Zhao and others were there, and they actually wanted to drive the ministers out, and the minister was afraid that the news would leak out, and the prince of Qi Guo absconded, so he had to do it." ”

Chen Zhenjing heard this and smiled.

This is putting all the blame on yourself.

As if it was his own guilt, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he actually sneered: "The Protector of the Kingdom should be cautious when he speaks, you took his son with your own hands in front of Wang Ling of Puyang Xianjun, but you are still arguing here, this is already the indignation of people and gods, and now you want to deny it in every way?" ”

Chen Kaizhi shook his head: "I don't want to deny it, taking people in front of the spirit is something I should bear." ”

This time he confessed quickly.

This made Chen Zhenjing stunned.

The Empress Dowager said coldly: "Why do you want to take people, the king of Puyang Xianjun is good to say, he is also a clan, and he is a nobleman in the sky, and now he is gone, and his son is filial piety in front of the spirit, if he has a spirit in the sky, seeing this situation and this scene, I don't know that this is the case, people die greatly, will you not know about this matter?" ”

Chen Kaizhi said solemnly: "The minister came here to report this matter. ”

Chen Kaizhi said, and slowly took out a note from his sleeve: "This is what Jinyiwei seized not long ago, and I asked Niangniang to take a look." ”

Chen Kaizhi respectfully sent this piece to the desk of the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager did not look down, but squinted her eyes and asked coldly, "What is written?" ”

Chen Kaizhi paused, and continued: "What is written, it is about the son of Chen Huang, the son of the world, Chen Huang, who conspires with others to do business in private, in fact, it is nothing to do business, but it is a business for people to sell stolen goods, Niangniang must know that there are many thieves in Beijing, but these thieves steal things, they must always change hands, otherwise, what is the use of rotting in their hands?" For the stability of the Beijing Division, so the officials of the imperial court, even the Jinyi Guard, have the duty to crack down on thieves, but cracking down on thieves is a symptom, after ten thieves are caught, there will still be twenty thieves coming out, the root cause of the cure is to crack down on the people who sell the stolen goods, these people who provide the sale of stolen goods, even if ordinary people have the courage to do it, but they do not have such a big capital, they do not have enough contacts, where can they gain a foothold. Therefore, Chen Huang relied on his identity as the son of his own family to give protection to these merchants who sold stolen goods, so that those stolen things could be circulated quickly, and the thieves had no worries. ”

"Originally, this matter, Jinyiwei has always been just a secret investigation, although he has only been collecting evidence, but he has not closed the net, the essence is because it is related to the prince, and the minister also has doubts. But a few days ago, there was a civil unrest, and many of the rebellious people actually had weapons, so the ministers paid special attention to it, and the court forbade ordinary people to carry weapons in private, but where did so many weapons come from? The ministers ordered people to follow the vine and touch the melons, and then they knew that it might be related to these businessmen who sold stolen goods, these businessmen, not only sold stolen goods on behalf of others, but also secretly exchanged forbidden objects, as long as it was profitable, they were willing to take risks. ”

"The minister thought about it, and felt that if he was indifferent, he would really be ashamed of the court's kindness, so he made up his mind to do it, and wanted to catch all these people, this is a sparse inside, as well as the confessions of the three businessmen who sold the stolen goods, all truthfully reported, this matter is related to Chen Huang, although Chen Huang has not come forward, from the three businessmen, there are thirty or forty thousand taels of silver for a year's profit, and these businessmen have his protection, under his banner, it is also smooth sailing, three businessmen, and now they are still in the edict prison for a while, if the mother feels that something is strange, It can be handed over to Dali Temple and Spiegel Division for retrial. ”

"This is also the minister is too hasty, now the minister wants to come, the minister is indeed anxious, but thinking that it is related to the civil unrest, the stakes are very high, if it is delayed any longer, once they cover up the evidence of the crime, nothing will be found, not to mention, the three businessmen have already taken it, the minister thinks that Chen Huang will soon receive the rumors, if it is a little later to take people, if he consciously happens to the east window, so he absconds, isn't it all the hard work before, all the previous efforts have been wasted."
